ANKOM TDF Dietary Fiber Analyzer
Part #
Automated Dietary Fiber Analysis
Automates AOAC 985.29, 991.43, and 2001.03 (AACC 32-07.01), and NMKL 129, 2003, AOAC 2009.01, 2011.25, 2017.16 and 2022.01
The ANKOM TDF Dietary Fiber Analyzer creates a new standard used for nutritional labeling, analysis, quality control, and research.
By automating one of the most tedious analytical methods, the ANKOM Dietary Fiber Analyzer reduces labor and per-sample costs while increasing accuracy and precision.
ANKOM’s patented Filter Bag Technology increases filtering surface area which reduces the time needed to filter samples and eliminates the use of vacuum flasks and crucibles.
A computer-controlled multichannel pump automates the addition of chemical solutions, enzymes, and rinses. Temperatures and agitation levels are controlled throughout the process, eliminating the need for multiple water baths and freeing up precious lab space.
